2:06 pm
a tool in the political game of what's happening right now. touches in 3 indian states, accosting balance and local elections. people in one region of india's most popular state of to pradesh are among them. the elections are seen as a key test for the popularity of the prime minister there under moody and the ruling b. j. p. party. putney metal has more from a to pradesh. we're outside to pulling station and i'm role hon with the british and people are lining up to cost them vote in what is in just biggest take election. now that with the issues home to more than 200000000 people and sends a maximum number of parliamentarians to the center, this election is seen as the litmus test of prime minister in the reins of mode. these popularity and the b j piece policies. now and the last election in 2017, the party want a landslide victory. but since then support has dwindled among the many formulas
2:07 pm
that back the party. for one, many of them participated last year long agitation against the 3 farm laws these way venture to revolt. but pharmacy that enormous distress has crept in for one, some of them have continued to protest because they said that demand has not been met. and i'll go see that price rise. i had also been a huge factor. now, other states, other states are also going to hold this month results, but all will be out on march 10th, the russian figure skater, camila valley has been cleared to continue competing in the winter olympics. and beijing, this is to spine failing a doping test. she was suspended last week on to testing positive for a bomb substance at an event before the games. the decision allows valley ever to compete in the women's event on tuesday, which she's the favorite to wind. katrina you has moved from basing. well, the quarter, the arbitration for sport or cas decided valley eva will be able to continue
2:08 pm
competing and will appear as scheduled into moore's individual figure skating event due to several exceptional circumstances. now this is despite valley ever testing positive tree metacity and 6 weeks ago. true metacity is a band substance which treats and jain but also boosts endurance, not to those exceptional circumstances. the 1st was value of his age. she's only 15 years old. and according to the world anti doping cord, minors have certain protections. the 2nd is the legality around this. now she did not test positive during the beijing winter olympics itself, but had during a previous pre olympic event. and this legal process around that, that particular test is still ongoing, and so can decided that preventing her from competing going forward would cause her irreparable damage. thirdly, they said it was the timing of all of this. this positive test did not come to
2:09 pm
light until february the 8th until one day after valley a lead her team to gold medal victory on the previous monday. so they said that this timing was simply not her fault. now dolly would very likely, very relieved by this, but not everyone is happy already. the u. s. and, and the committee has expressed disappointment, although the i see says they're going to abide by this ruling and who solder the u . s. anti doping agency has reminded people that we still need to show compassion for valuable because she's still just a child. a palestinian teenager has been shot dead by israeli security forces during unrest near the city of janine and the occupied west bank. good 11, all this winter when troops i can find on people protesting against the demolition of a home. it belonged to a palestinian prisoner accused of killing and is riley settling in december.
2:10 pm
activists have condemned such demolitions as a form of collective punishment. a speak to jeff hopa, he's a direct and founder of the israeli committee against house demolitions. he joins a sly from west jerusalem. thank you for your time. so let's try and get to the bottom of it. can you explain to us why this home was being demolished in the 1st place? what were the circumstances around this? well, this is what israel calls punitive punishments. ah, in other words, israel demolishes holmes wholesale, not only in the west bank and gaza, but also inside israel. we have to remember since 1967, it's demolished about 60000 palestinian homes community centers, mos schools and businesses and so on. this is a particular kind of demolition that we're talking about. and that is when someone is accused of what is your calls a terrorist action, what palestinian scenes,
2:11 pm
resistance, and part of the punishment, even if they're kill. and they haven't been in trial or even if they've been caught and they haven't been tried yet. a israel moves very quickly to demolish their homes. in other words, the homes of their families. i mean, one of these kids was 17 years old. i think the other one was 20 years old. so even if they were guilty, let's say of, of, of a crime or, or, or, or a resistance activity. you know, in international law prohibits to demolition up. it prohibits collective punishment to israel is not allowed in international law to demolish the home of the family. we're talking about an extended family often these demolitions also harm the houses nearby. so really a whole village, all whole neighborhood can be damaged, you know, by the punitive demolition, silas surgical procedure fight. and that's why we protest this kind of punitive
2:12 pm
demolition which is illegal. i can understand how common is this practice then he well, it's common for the point of view, a very of a response to a, to a, to a violent attack. in other words, about of the 60000 structures i mentioned that have been demolished since 1967. only about let's say so only, but the $650.00 of these kinds of punitive demolition says have been done so. so they're, they're really about one percent of the demolitions, but they're, they're very important because they, they focus in on resistance fighters. and again, they're harmed the arm a larger community. now it just, so i have to say that the israeli army itself, about 15 years ago, decided that these kinds of devolution should not go on because they're
2:13 pm
counterproductive, rather than deterring what israel calls terrorist activity. in fact, they, they encourage it. i mean, they inflame the community um, but over the last 5 years or so, the israeli army has gone back to this practice. and there is a lot of criticism in israel of it. although, to be honest, most israelis aren't aware of this policy at all. well, this is exactly what i was going to ask you about it. it sounds a little counter productive, and presumably this is what is causing a loss of fee and rest in, in jeanine and, and its surrounding areas. so why have the, is the israeli army gone back to this practice t think? i think the message is, and there's a message here. and that's a, you know, 0 tolerance. in others we, the israelis will not tolerate any kind of reason. when you call resistance, what is your calls of or stairs?
2:14 pm
and what is your has done is to criminalize the palestinian resistance, the entire palestinian liberation struggle um, as been criminalized because israel does not recognize the palestinians as a national group. so what it's trying to do then, is to say your criminals, and any time you do a violent act, israel will never consider it a resistance act. we are going to come after you and the idea is to try to intimidate the palestinians and try to give them the feeling that there is no space whatsoever for any kind of resistance to what is real is. okay, thank you for your time. jeff. hope it's arcs and found out the israeli committee against house demolitions. joining us there from western slim. thank you for coming up in the news ahead. me announced supposedly down on c t appears in court on trial elections flying high,
